WHY JOIN WFP?:

• WFP is a 2020 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.
• WFP offers a highly inclusive, diverse, and multicultural working environment.
• WFP invests in the personal & professional development of its employees through a range of training, accreditation, coaching, mentorship, and other programs as well as through internal mobility opportunities.
• A career path in WFP provides an exciting opportunity to work across the various country, regional and global offices around the world, and with passionate colleagues who work tirelessly to ensure that effective humanitarian assistance reaches millions of people across the globe.
• We offer an attractive compensation package (please refer to the Terms and Conditions section of this vacancy announcement).

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT: A key recommendation from the Somalia Country Portfolio Evaluation (2012 – 2017) was to include protection, accountability to affected populations (AAP) and gender into programming. As a result, WFP Somalia has progressively strengthened the integration of gender and protection in programming through the establishment of full time Protection & Gender and AAP technical positions, increased engagement and partnership with various protection actors, and development of guidelines to improve programme design and implementation. Efforts include the development of community-based targeting guidelines for Somalia through the Food Security Cluster (FSC), mapping of GBV referral pathways in collaboration with the GBV sub-cluster and UNICEF, engagement with various actors on disability and inclusion of marginalized/minority groups, and incorporation of organizations representing minority/marginalized groups in the FSC regional coordination hubs. In 2020, WFP also took leadership in championing collective accountability, coordinating the development of key data categories for a collective feedback mechanism that was shared with the Inter-Cluster Coordinating Group (ICCG) and the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT).

With the approval of the Global Protection and Accountability Policy (2020), WFP is required to apply a protection approach to its programming. This means mainstreaming gender and disability into programming and ensuring the inclusion, participation, and meaningful engagement of the most at risk in WFP’s food assistance programmes. To make the protection approach systematic, WFP needs to ground the policy to the relevant local contexts in Somalia. To this end, WFP is increasing its personnel capacity through the recruitment of one National Programme Policy Officer (Gender & Protection) in each of the Area Offices in Somalia to deliver on its commitments.

The incumbents would work closely under the overall guidance and support of the Programme Policy Officers on Gender & Protection and AAP at the Country Office and report to the Area Office Head of Programme – Garowe. Overall, the Gender and Protection Officer will also liaise closely with other teams to ensure cross-functional synergies and provide technical support to improve the integration of protection, gender and accountability across WFP programmes and operations in Puntland and Dhusamareeb in Somalia. This includes supporting the operationalization of relevant WFP policy and strategic frameworks, such as the Gender Policy (2022), the Protection and Accountability Policy (2020), the Disability Inclusion Road Map (2020 -2022), and the Community Engagement for AAP Strategy (2022 -2026) at the Area Office level.
